BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union's top court on Thursday issued an opinion in its first case heard in the Irish language, almost 50 years after Ireland joined the bloc, in a case relating to an Irish man wishing to see dual-language labelling on his dog's medicine.
The Court of Justice of the European Union can hear cases in any of the bloc's 24 official languages. English and Irish are Ireland's official languages but no cases had been brought in Irish since it joined the EU in 1973.
